History in Capitol Hill
GL Barnhart Construction is a flat roof repair specialist based in Capitol Hill, DC focused on the Capitol Hill neighborhood. After 10 years of focusing on repair, restoration, flat roofing and repointing work in this neighborhood, our particular service offerings are tailored around the needs of these historic buildings. We specialize in the flat roofing, found on most of the buildings here in our historic part of the city. In addition to flat roofing, we also work in flat roof upkeep, maintenance, and repair of many of the adjacent systems and elememts of historic facades.
​
We have a long history in the restoration and repointing of the historic masonry, and work in repair of masonry rooftop elements as well, such as rooftop chimney restoration, parapet repair, and front mansard repair. Our company and service offerings have changed over the years, and we have now mostly limited our work to the things we do best. Most flat roof systems in our area include TPO systems for new roofs or re-roofing, but also PVC and other thermoset types of roofs, standing seam metal roof repair, and terne and other alloy roof repair recoating, modified bitumen restoration, recoating, and upkeep.

The Capitol Hill neighborhoods have been central to our company's growth and development over the past 10 years, and we've worked to give back and be a part of the community in many ways. The Capitol Hill Restoration Society has been a wonderful organization for us from our start. We have worked with and been a part of programs with the Latino Economic Development Center, the Hill Center, the Capitol Hill Village, and our company was awarded the Hilly Award for the number one contractor in all of Capitol Hill. We have volunteered for years at the Center for Empowerment and Employment Training (CEET), the Innerstate Boxing Club on Florida Avenue NE, Maury Elementary, Phelps ACE High School, and many, many more.
